Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode

With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let

the camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution

panoramic image providing the ability to print very large panoramic images as well as to zoom

in on small details in the distance and crop them in for a larger view of the object. The high

resolution image is a 42.9MP file which is compressed into a jpg. When opening the file in Picture

Motion Browser ver. 5.6, it decompresses to the 42.9MP file.

Background Defocus

DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis

on your subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The

system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping

the subject crisp and clear.

Superior Auto mode

Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically

recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce

images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology

and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 36

scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.

Picture Effect for more expressive photos

Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and

portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Seven effects

give free reign to your imagination to expand creative horizons. HDR Painting creates a rich

painted look. Rich-tone Monochrome produces an artistic black and white image. Miniature

transforms mundane landscapes into fascinating works of art. Toy camera transitions an ordinary

photo into one with high contrast, tunnel view, and four color shifts. Partial color results in a

stunning monochrome photo containing a single designated color. High-key creates photos with

heightened brightness for a soft clean look.

Clear image digital zoom

Clear image digital zoom maintains a high-resolution feel that is as precise as optical zoom and

vastly expands the zoom range without lowering visible quality or pixel count in the final image.

With By Pixel Super Resolution processing, the camera’s 5x optical zoom range is extended,

allowing full resolution 16.2MP images with a maximum 10x zoom.

High speed shooting

The DSC-TX55 can capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second,

helping to ensure that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the

goal. In addition, the DSC-TX55 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when

continuously shooting moving subjects.
